[0.14.20] Mod sorting is case sensitive

Post by Killerbee »

I expected this to have been reported previously but I have been unable to find a report describing this bug.

The current sorting of mods in the mod list isn't very intuitive because it is case sensitive.
The attached screenshots show the problem.

Maybe because I cut off too much of the screenshot caused this to be moved to the mod portal discussion but this is a bug in the game not in the portal.
Can this report be moved back?

Maybe related: Same thing goes for train stops in the train schedule UI.

Train stops are sorted that way on purpose else you wouldn't be able to see 2 stops with different case in the listing.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

A better solution is to rename every (case-insensitive) matching station to the case of the last station edited.

We had people complaining about case insensitive compare of train station names. They use COPPER for mine, and copper for smelting and suddenly it was considered same station. We just probably need case "semi-sensitive" sort.

As one of those people, having COPPER and copper close together in the list while still be considered different stations would be quite helpful. :P

So we have changed it for 0.15.

As for original report. Rsending said to me, he made mod sorting case sensitive intentionaly, because mixing upper case and lower case names was ugly and important information is if anything in the list has red color.
